    I believe it is an excelent way to attract attention to the illegal trading in historical and cultural relics. Morally these items belong to the countries of origin from whence they were stolen. They certainly don´t belong to the highest bidder at an auction. International law should enforce the return of any such items from Museums and private collections . Unfortunately , it will probably drive the trading in such artifacts underground. If it stops the wholesale theft of such items from tombs yet undiscovered , then it is a great step in the right direction.

    just appeal at the le Conseil d麓Etat, and close the issue! They would review the trial and return the relics, there would be somebody that pays the fine and that´s all! If China wants an apology from the Tribunal de Grande Instance in Paris, ask Yang JieChi to write a request to the French authority! What is problem? Yang JieChi could write French, everybody knows.The auction house Christie´s pays a fine, the auction buyer pays a fine, somebody goes to jail or extradite to China if it´s a Chinese national that owns the antique store and sold the relics to Pierre Berge from the beginning.Ask the APACE to work it out, and Yang JieChi to write a letter, that´s all!

    The great nations must be generous enough to handle such problems with great generosity and they must not buy or invite new problems or issues for themselves. They must avoid such small issues which could later on develop into huge issues and problems. Those relics are anywhere, placed anywhere and bought by anyone still belongs to China and it would earn honor and prestige for Chinese nation. So the Chinese nation must not worry for it more. In the future those relics would come back to its own motherland by itself and the Chinese nation would witness it鈥�.....
